  1. Some great points made here. As a full time bass tutor for the past 12 years, I'm shocked at the content of the original post. Walk away from this chap, and find a tutor you can work with. It might take a couple of attempts, but you'll hopefully find someone you ' click with' At that point learning should become fun, and you'll learn real world ways to improve, rather than party piece playing, which to be honest has only a VERY small place in the usable bass world
  2. When I first started learning, I didn't have an amp, so I developed a loud unplugged style, whilst trying to learn iron maiden and whitesnake parts. I'm still a ridiculously heavy hitter!
  3. I've been playing for 28 years, and been earning my living from teaching and playing / recording for 13. Ability wise I see players that I feel are better than myself, but I know that if needed I could reach the required standard fairly quickly for almost any situation.
  4. Well done bluejay- great coverage as ever!
  5. Not had that experience with mxr products- I have a significant number of both their bass and guitar pedals
  6. Congratulations on a great score! Very jealous ! 😉
  7. Like much of the previous album
  8. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the mooer has a switch which selects either modern/vintage (?) Does that then make it a clone of the evh?
  9. I wasn't planning on being there this year, but a friend sorted a guest space for me. The main problem this year for me ws the sheer volume. It was offensive in the extreme. There was supposed to be a 50 minute noisy period, and 45 minute quiet spell. No one except those using headphone rigs took any notice whatsoever. I did get to spend some time with some interesting gear though- mainly pedals ( and through headphones!) The new boss bass driver has some potential, and I don't feel the vids from namm do it justice. The hookers green bass machine sounded great too! I shall be returning to the shop to try these two and some others too, in a more 'friendly' environment. I got to meet stu Hamm and Doug wimbish too
  10. I've played it clean or with a bass fuzz deluxe
  11. I had a hustle drive for a while (the ocd clone). It sounded ok, but lost some low end, which made it a candidate for the the chopping block for me. Ymmv

Edit- picked up another westbury track 2 Fender mij Steve Harris precision blue/ maple Two home built p bass Olp levin 5 string
  13. Highly underrated basses IMO. I have loved both track 2s that I've owned over years
  14. Mooer di is great for the size Has a potentially useful speaker sim too
  15. Love my slow engine. Never fails to put a smile on my face when I use it. I also have the micro di. Not really a pedal, but great nonetheless. The chorus is pretty good, and I also have the blues mood. Not a bad low gainer, but it works best on its own, and does tend to lose a little low end
  16. Sims advertise that they can add LEDs without removing the fretboard
  17. Stickman and gunsFreddy- it certainly looks like you're right. Defo part of the reason I won't be going this year.
  18. My main contention with the last episode was that the chap said that chic's good times, and queens another one bites the dust were the same bass line. For someone that has a good an ear as his- he must be deaf!!!!
  19. I have the bass eq and fog fuzz. Loving the eq- the frequency centres are really good. Volume control is transparent and lights when engaged. I always thought that was a cool feature 😉 The fog is good, and does the 'time is running out' sound pretty well. I tried the thunderball and really wanted to like it, but it did nothing for me. It's allegedly a clone of the ehx bass blogger.
  20. Another shout for the mark bass octave. As close to an oc2 as is poss apparently
  21. Some talk about it here. A couple of videos too 😉 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/252374-for-the-cliff-em-all-ers-here/page__pid__2662583#entry2662583
